Testing system for Viaduct Beams
Installation consisting of 4 servo-hydraulic actuators of 6.000 kN
overall (1.500 kN per actuator), a hydraulic unit and an electronic control system.

Biaxial Machine - BX30030
The testing system is built to verify the performance of seismic isolators.
The tests involve the application of a compression load (vertical load) and the use of cyclic horizontal displacements.
The general characteristics of the test machine in terms of vertical load, movement and speed (both vertical and horizontal axis) have been identified considering that almost all of the end-of-production tests and most of the qualification tests can be performed.
Vertical force: 30.000 kN
Horizontal force: 3.000 kN

Machine for bending tests on rails - FPF1000
The system is designed and built to perform 4-point bending fatigue tests on welded rails.
The test specimen can be subjected to bending stress through the application of a compressive and tensile load by a hydraulic servo-cylinder.

FPF 30 MN Machine
Uniaxial load frame, sized to withstand maximum loads of 30 MN in both compression and traction for tests on structural elements.
The frame is equipped with a fixed lower base and a movable upper crossbeam for the control of working width.
The movement of the upper crossbeam is provided by four hydraulic servo-cylinders firmly fixed to the two crossbeams, which also have the function of applying the load on the specimen through the movement of the upper crossbeam.
